The studio CEO behind Stellar Blade has already hinted at the sequel in a new interview. It depends on how well this game performs.
Stellar Blade fans wanted Eve to stick it to the man, but she feels too tame and most reactions say she should have gone further.
"Stellar Blade fans wanted Eve to stick it to the man"
I haven't seen a single fan say that, honestly not even one, am I missing something
This whole article is a game "journalist" complaining becasue a video game character "isn't sexy enough". Is this really what it's come to?
The Stellar Blade battle isn't over, and distributor Sony has taken sides against its customers. Yesterday, reports came in that the highly-anticipated game had been censored in both the gore and at least one costume.
Mark Kern, the former Blizzard producer
who goes by Grummz on social media,
explained that Sony is almost certainly
responsible for this and outlines a plan for players to deal with it.
They are sending the reputation of gamers back to the 90s with this one.
This has got to be the saddest shit I've ever seen in the gaming community.
@Zeref “They are sending the reputation of gamers back to the 90s with this one.”
Uh I disagree with that, back in the 90’s if a game didn’t had blood, skimpy outfits and violence it wouldn’t sale.
I would had said they’re Nintendo washing it.
"back in the 90’s if a game didn’t had blood, skimpy outfits and violence it wouldn’t sale."
You are joking right? There are numerous games that didn't have any of that and still sold well
Strange i don’t think she’s more controversial than the Dead or Alive 2 characters back in the days.. some suits were just… too much but no one cared
Reputation of gamers?
According to mainstream we are all sexist incel homophobes. Not sure our reputation can get worse...
Let them have their fun. This won't stop good games from being made but it may pause bad shit from happening...if I recall, battlefront 2 had some shit that people "cried" over.
It really is embarrassing. I’m playing it, it’s great. And she’s hot, also great. But would I give a fuck if I played as a middle aged bald guy with a son? No!
so censorship is good ? no matter how small ? gore being removed is insane, just have it as an option.
Once you accept this type of thing it always snowballs, ask people who live in china. Main stream outlets call all gamers racists, and the worst of the worst, you couldnt get any worse. We are hated for liking attractive females, hated for not wanting more female leads, you cant win with activists, they are mostly failed political writers. They openly tell you they hate you and the hobby.
No you are hated because you don't realize that you are the ones doing the censorship. You say what women HAVE to look like. You are the once saying we HAVE to be racist. You are the one saying we HAVE to stop women leads. You are the ones saying we HAVE to have the types of characters YOU deem appropriate. That is censorship. You are taking your politics and trying to force it on gamers.
You give gamers a bad name. And we are gonna keep saying it to you realize that being a proxy for a made up political movement just allows people to weaponize you against their alleged enemies. A tool.
This is one of the saddest pathetic shit I have ever seen. The videos are so cringey. All this over 6 inches of lace.
It is not about '6 inches of lace' you idiot. It's about promises made before release that changed afterwards because of a handful of psychotic people on the internet. It's about appeasing a bunch of men who have lost their balls and insecure jealous fugly women. The game is rated M and NOTHING should be censored for ANY reason.
Is it really this much crying over ONE costume? That’s insane. Apparently the game has over 50 but that just won’t do.
Supposedly they mildly altered atleast a handful.
But tbh, this is very funny. Game was proclaimed to be the savior of gaming by whiny idiots, now they are crying because of the smallest of changes.
Crying, aka complaining about something you don't agree with
But you're right, when it's small we should just ignore it
Because ignoring bad practices when they're small never had any problems
@jambola Nah its literally crying. There is no such thing as compaining apparently to yall?
Were those article authors complaining? Ya know, the ones that made all these losers lose their shit. The like maybe 2 authors who I don't even agree with...I bet money, youd say these guys are crying over sexy bodies, but when you have an issue with the developer, its all of a sudden its a complaint, not crying.
I think both sides are fucking crying and I can't wait for this stupid arc to end. Hopefully the next one won't be as pointless...still will be pointless but less so than this one.
exactly its only this its only that, until its something big and then its too late and everyone has accepted the small stuff. People are short sighted
@Huey_My_D_Long
well no, it's not literally crying at all, unless you have proof otherwise?
and I'll take my money now if you don't mind, because I don't say they're crying, because claiming people are crying just because they disagree is really stupid
@jambola
If you really are concerned about bad practices in the video game industry, why are you perfectly ok with supporting Shift Up - the developers of one of the biggest gacha games on the market? Are excessive MTXs and gambling ok now if the studio puts tits and a nice ass in on of their games?
some gore elements have been removed also, what makes it worse is shift up made a statement saying no version worldwide would have censorship, then it did. This is the issue.
What amazes me is how a few out there can ruin the experience for the majority. These companies cater to the few and the majority just suck it up. Like I said in a previous post, posters taken down in resident evil today, tomorrow everything else…… they always start small and ramp up from there.
But hey it’s PlayStation and they know their fans will go ve them a pass.
They added 1 miligram of fabric and the skinsuit is still there. But yeah, this is a crisis!
Did you know that all character could have been naked, but the artists self censored themselves. Highly unethical and anti-gamer.
I think you’re mixing up the few and the majority here. The majority of people just want to play a good game, the few want to kick up a fuss because of a couple of aesthetic changes to what was shown in the run up. I’m having a lot of fun with it and unsurprisingly Eve’s outfits or the lack of racist graffiti has had literally zero bearing on my enjoyment.
You all did not just seriously use a geeks and gamers article for this stupid ass controversy lol

This game is going to be a banger. The demo was good and I am sold. I'm getting a Nier: Automata, Devil May Cry, and Sekiro vibes. The parrying system and combos is near perfect.
The only thing I didn't like was the Scan>R2 pickup.
Combat is pretty slick.
That demo was incredible - preordered it today! Hoping they'll offer the digital deluxe edition as an upgrade for physical purchases.
Game is very fun, has clear inspirations yet feels unique, and performs pretty perfectly. Hits all the right marks for me.
the combat is absolutely fantastic, hope it does well :)
